Watercolor Wet-Into-Wet Practice (Easy monochrome sky)

Today, I show you my favorite wet-into-wet practice technique. This practice covers some important skills such as: watercolor timing, values, and brushwork.

It also creates a beautiful mono-chrome sky. The more time we spend practicing these fundamentals the stronger our paintings will be.

Enjoy!

Check out my recommended watercolor brush collection.

What I have found is that you can use staining and non staining paints to your advantage. For example, if you use a graded wash with staining colors like a warm yellow on the background and wait for it to dry, then you can re-wet the page without reactivating the stained color. Then you can incorporate more wet onto wet clouds etc over the initial wash.

Matt, can you take your viewers step by step through a series of a few videos of creating a painting using your 5 ways? It would be so super to start with you from the beginning and learning to mix a couple of basic colors all the way to the finished painting.

Super helpful and a great exercise for beginners (like me!)

[francoisederocher]

Glad you are showing how to hold your brush: not near the ferule for a nice and loose line.

[einzwei]

Cool exercises this is really helping beginners a lot!

I’ve learnt so much in your free video! I was about to give up on a painting, but after watching the video I went back in and improved the painting!
